Thanks, Joe and Tauf, for your suggestion. The big surprise was that when I opened the new view in the Admin tool this morning, all the offending fields appeared in the view, and I am quite sure I saved the view yesterday. So I removed them, then just to be sure, I put them back and removed them again, and now they are gone (I HOPE for good).
Thanks again, Dwayne ** Dwayne, I've had something similar happen and the only way I resolved it was adding the field again in the admin tool, saving it, and then removing it, and saving it again...

I have solved similar problems like this (not exactly the same problem) by redoing stuff that may force a definition recache.. So since you are saying you did remove the fields from the view, try putting them all back, save the form, recache both the client and the mid-tier.. Make sure that the view is as messy as hell with your new actions - both on the thick and thin client.. then tidy it up, make it pretty and save it.. Sounds funky I know but may work in your case.. When the system starts beating you down - give it some beating back :-) Joe -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Martin, Robert Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Old fields staying in new view ** Joe, Thanks for your suggestion. I am launching the view from a button that calls an Active Link, and in that Active Link I am picking the view name from the menu, so I don't think I am mis-spelling it. Also, the fact that when I change the location of one of the view's fields, I see the location change in the display, is pretty good evidence that I have the right view. Also the Active Link log shows the "Window Open" selecting the correct view.

Check your User Tool 'Options' to make sure you are opening the right view. Do not misspell the view name or it will open the Default view. Also make sure you are opening the right view in the mid-tier.. How are you doing that? Directly using a URL or using workflow? Check the view spelling there too.

I selected a view, and copied it to a new view, then removed the fields that I didn't want from the new view. But when I display the new view, in either the User tool or Mid-tier, the fields are still there. If I look at the "Fields in view" for the new view, the unwanted fields aren't there, and if I go to the old view and look at the "Views" tab for these fields, it doesn't show them appearing in the new view. I've cleared the cache, and if I change the location of one of the fields that are supposed to be there, the field appears in its new position, so it doesn't seem to be a caching issue. Any idea what is going on?
